What if you slept
And what if
In your sleep
You dreamed
And what if
In your dream
You went to heaven
And there plucked a strange and beautiful flower
And what if
When you awoke
You had that flower in you hand
Ah, what then?

What if you slept

It is a great honor to introduce this special musical project set to the powerful and beautiful poetry of the extraordinary Nobel Prize-winning Chilean poet Gabriela Mistral. This work was made possible with the kind permission of the Gabriela Mistral Foundation.
I want to give special thanks to the remarkable soprano Maribel Villarroel, whose stunning voice gave life and soul to each piece. Her deeply personal interpretation and awe-inspiring vocals brought authenticity and passion to this music. I am equally grateful to the brilliant pianist and arranger René Calderón, whose sensitivity and artistry are infused into every note. Their talent, dedication, and collaborative spirit have taken this project to levels I could only dream of as a composer.
Gabriela Mistral’s poems speak to the heart with timeless emotion, strength, and depth. Creating music for her words was both a challenge and a privilege, an emotional journey that led us to deep connections with her legacy and message.
The visual side of this release is also something I’m excited to share. The album cover was created by the outstanding Chilean artist Giovanni Gellona, whose artwork beautifully reflects the emotion and atmosphere of the music and Mistral’s poetry, and projects both her dignity and lovingness.
This album is not just a musical interpretation; it is a tribute to Chilean culture, poetry, and artistic collaboration. I hope listeners around the world can feel the love, effort, and respect behind every note.
I invite you to experience Gabriela Mistral’s poetry through this musical lens and share it with others who might be moved by it. 
With gratitude,

La Medianoche
(Letra del poema “La Medianoche” de Gabriela Mistral)

Fina, la medianoche.
Oigo los nudos del rosal:
la savia empuja subiendo a la rosa.

Oigo
las rayas quemadas del tigre
Real: no le dejan dormir.

Oigo
la estrofa de uno
y le crece en la noche 
como la duna.

Y después nada oigo
sino que voy cayendo 
en los muros de Arlés
llenos de sol…

La Medianoche

Cast of Characters:
Surfers Like Us– @user-411502040 –Artur–composition, arrangement, and Fender Jaguar delayed, foundational rhythm guitar
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – Fender Stratocaster electric guitar, production, mix, and mastering
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – electric piano and organ
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – Warwick fretless four-string bass and PRS EG semi-hollow body electric guitar

First of all, we wish the happiest Thanksgiving to all our wonderful SoundCloud friends and family. This song began as a twinkle in Artur's eye a couple months ago. Hey composed it with his Jaguar, as that is the premium surf guitar out there, and shared it with Tez, who invited the rest of us onto the project. 
   Tez, being the first on the boat, added his thrilling guitar fills and solos first. It was kind of odd the way we did this one, in fact, with the melodic/chordal instruments first, followed by the rhythm section. That said, JJ was next up to bat, adding his magical electric piano and soaring organ. Ken was first up for the backline, adding his driving drums. Josh then finally added his fretless bass to the stew. But before he was done, Josh also added the guitar solo you hear from 1:30-1:55. 
  After it was all said and done, we asked Tez to mix it for us, as he is a master producer and mixer. 
  This is the latest in a long line of surf rock songs of Artur's we've been fortunate enough to get to play with. He is the surfingest Polish fellow you will ever come across, and a wonderful, familiar collaborator with Eclectic Collective. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl — vocals and lyrics
J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ, electric piano, and synth

This song began its life when Chris put ass to chair and came up with it a while back. This is the latest of the massive song collection he laid on Eclectic Collective about a month and a half ago. Be prepared to hear a lot more of his songs coming through our fingers and voices, because we now have a plethora of great material from him. So, Chris came up with this arrangement on his acoustic guitar, electric guitar, and synth, but it was a pretty solid composition, even by his standards, and it had the magic already baked in.
The first one of us to grab a hold of it was Carl, who immediately heard his vocal part, which he supplied with his always striking lyrics. JJ was the first instrumentalist to add his part, laying in the delightful organ, electric piano, and synth you hear throughout. Josh came out swinging next, adding his upright bass, which he bowed. Mark came along shortly after, adding his dramatic timpani, enchanting steel pan, cool triangle, arpeggiated synth, and synth effects to the mix. He also did some major editing, making room for Stephen's guitar solo, and adjusting some parts at the end. Mark also added some backing vocals, quoting George Harrison's Here Comes the Sun. If you listen closely, you can hear his Easter eggs in there.
At this point, the song sounded almost classical, especially Josh's bowed bass part. However, Ken still had something to say in here, adding his remarkable, driving drums to the whole thing. Josh, recognizing the sea change this created, added his fretless four-string to match Ken's kick. Stephen was able to blend the two in the production phase. But not before installing his absolutely thrilling electric guitar solo in there. Stephen did a wonderful job of producing, mixing, and mastering this for us, as always, when it was all in the can.
This is the first song Carl has gotten to sing that Chris has written. We're all super excited to unleash this combo on the world. This song reminds Josh of one of his favorite bands, The Flaming Lips, too, which makes it a special treat for him, as well. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it.
Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark:
Great nuclear beast
East horizon you meet
New life

Shine on us
Saving us from night

Birds take the first song
Beaks waking other ones
Wonder returns

Good morning sun
Just shine dear one
Sun shine on

Good greatest grace for thee
Dusts to Star
Our seed
Evolution breathes
Mass ejection beams

Our sun
Good morning
Fill good air with photon
The greatest good
Solar bent space time flood
Space fawn

Birds cannot be wronged
Once your fine light has songed
Wonder wound
Morning sound

Our dear Sun
Shine on

Good Morning Sun (Eclectic Collective)

Si c'est si beau
Noël, j'aurais tant espéré

Plus que des mots
Que la haine puisse enfin reculer

De ma maison, ma maison isolée 
J'entends les loups approcher
Dans le feu, le froid
Ils rodent autour de moi

Quand nos voix n'ont plus de poids
Si je pleure, je crie
Peu importe, c'est moi
Ecoute-moi

Quand la liberté s'efface
Quand le plus fort prend sa place
En l'humanité je crois
Sauvez ma foi

Liberté
On en parle sans jamais bien comprendre 
Ils disent nous sauver
Mais c'est ce qu'ils s'apprêtent à nous prendre

Et la neige, et la neige cache les corps 
De tous mes frères ukrainiens
On veut sceller mon sort
Ici à coup de poings 

Quand la liberté s'efface
Quand le plus fort prend sa place
En l'humanité je crois
Sauvez ma foi

Quand la liberté s'efface  
Quand le plus fort prend sa place
En l'humanité je crois
Sauvez ma foi 

Quand les loups détruisent nos terres
Quand les crocs déchirent nos chairs
En l'humanité je crois 
Sauvez ma foi

Pour Noël, j'aurais tant espéré
Un peu plus que des mots
Qu'une vaine chanson 

-----
If it's so beautiful,
Christmas, I would have hoped so much,
More than words,
That hatred could finally recede.

From my house, my isolated house,
I hear the wolves approaching.
In the fire, in the cold,
They prowl around me.

When our voices no longer carry weight
If I cry, I scream
It doesn't matter, it's me
Listen to me

When freedom fades away
When the strongest take its place
In humanity I believe 
Save my faith

Freedom
We talk about it without ever really understanding it 
They say they're saving us
But that's what they're preparing to take from us

And the snow, and the snow hides the bodies 
Of all my Ukrainian brothers
They want to seal my fate
Here with their fists

When freedom fades away
When the strongest take its place
In humanity I believe 
Save my faith

When freedom fades away
When the strongest take its place
In humanity I believe
Save my faith

When wolves destroy our lands
When fangs tear our flesh
In humanity I believe 
Save my faith

For Christmas, I would have hoped for so much more
A little more than words
Than a vain song

Pour Noël
